Default coilover trouble **look**

alright so me being the dumbass and sick of stupid wheel gap i picked up some coilovers on ebay yay im a dumbass..moving on

had these puppy's about i dunno begging of last summer, let me tell you if you do coilovers before you put them on put some type of lube or anything to keep the threads from being caked up with dirt and junk.

im looking for one of the spanners or shims whatever the hell oyu wanna call them lol i just need one because on got stuck on so good i cant get it off and i may result to very carefully cutting it off because it will not budge.. if anyone has any sort of just extra one laying around that would be great.

edit- locking perches sorry lol thats what it says on ebay woopie doo

use some brake cleaner to clean th threads out, then spray them with PB blaster, that ought to knock it loose.

Yea, then take them off, get some tokico blues, and have a good suspension that doesnt ever need to be adjusted. You should probably talk to sacs or leviii, speed6motorsports will get em for ya,

yeah i just had this exsact same problem with my coils, what i did was take the whole shock assembly out of the car and were the two rings lock together i put the top one in a vise and took a really big mallet and a punch and hit the bottom one really hard and it finaly came loose and i just spun them down the rest of the way... Also before i cleaned the whole shock with our parts cleaner and sprayed the threads and rings with carb cleaner..
